Somebody asked me about this through pm.
My advice is to:
- upgrade to the newest shipped English CE ROM (O2 1.11 or JAM 1.12)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/
- change it to BigStorage (Two-byte method)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24500&highlight=
- upgrade the radio to 1.13 (newest)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25465&highlight=
- install ROS Chinese support and HWPenCE
http://www.pdabase.com/download/SoftView.asp?SoftID=3807
http://www.pdabase.com/download/SoftView.asp?SoftID=2635
- clean install all other programs
The rationale is as follows:
- English ROMs run faster than Chinese ROMs and have less compatibility issues for softwares
(you can just upgrade the CE ROM, i.e. nk.nbf, by renaming the Extended ROM ms.nbf and the radio rom radio.nbf)
- It is now very safe to use the Direct Method to get BigStorage and you can install most of your softwares to Storage
- The newest radio ROM 1.13 is by far the best and the most stable
- ROS Chinese supports both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and occupies the least memory. It supports SMS in Chinese even better than Chinese ROMs
- HWPenCE is similar to and even better than the Hand Recognition built into Chinese ROMs
- It is more reliable to reinstall the programs after upgrade, unless you are familiar with the advanced features of Sprite Backup, in particular their add-on utility for ROM upgrades
Hello.
I think ive been reading for the last 5 hours about this topic.
I've managed to dump the ipl spl splash gsm os .nb files using typhoonnbfdecode.pl.
Then i managed to decode os.nb using prepare_imgfs.exe -nosplit option and then make_imgfs.exe. The next thing recmod crashes.
Ignoring that crash, I've changed a folder in the dump rom and I've tried to compile it using BuildImgfs.exe and make_imgfs.exe but nothing happens actually.
Would you please give me advice on this topic? I need to replace the keyboard driver from a orange aku2 tornado rom to a i-mate rom.
its been a "long" time since i wrote this.
what have i found more? i now know to compile the files back *the nb files to one nbf file*.
so i now have a dump directory but i can't compile it.
if you have any advice on this, please help.
Hey
I'm interested in cooking a new Tornado ROM as the old AKU2.0 is, well, OLD! lol.
could you point me in the direction of a nice comprehensive guide on cooking a rom? and what software would i need?
thanx
i know like almost 80% of the process but i cant compile the .nb or .nba file after i dump it.
Hey
Do you have all the necessary files to do the rom kitchen?

------------------------------------------
basically the above but for Tornado instead
I'm assuming, because we're simply using a different AKU update, and not an actual NEW OS update, (as when people were upgrading from WM2003SE to WM5 i can understand there would be driver incompatibilities)
so, it should really be as simple as basically extracting the relevant keyboard/joystick/camera/hardware button drivers and inserting them into the SPL rom?
could you post what you have currently?
or better still, could you zip everything up and email it over to me at gmail? its duke.stix [at] googlemail [dot] com
i really wanna upgrade the AKU on the tornado! the aku 3.5 update on the pocketPC's looks a whole lot different!
ah, the thing is i dont have anything right now.
its useless all this work if you dont even know how to compile the final product.
when i will do the succesfull compiling of the dump i will do the cooking.
hello everybody
please share a simple Tornado ROM kitchen
Hi there,
since I upgraded my OS only the new VC installation (1.5) isn`t working any longer. Is there anyone experiencing the same?
Are there any known problems with VC 1.6?
Let me know (-;
witch rom version you have?
OS is 5.1.461
ROM 2.05.263.1
Radio 1.27
ExtRom 1.35.255.102
I'd wait until the official ROM releases with AKU 3.3 on, the one you have is a test version.
i know aku 3 are test roms, but i don`t even know if the problem is an os or device (=>mine) issue!
AKU 3 and VC 1.5
Once you upgrade to an AKU 3 ROM, you must also upgrade Voice Command to v1.6. The changes in AKU 3 demand the newer version.

For those who dont know, PDAViet has just released a new BA rom with thse spec : WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5.
it has built in TouchFlo, and als the latest .NetCF 3.5 as Extrom...
I also have tried all the WM6 version since Helmi R0 release, Xplode's latest rom and PdaViet's WM6 OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT).
All are good, stable and fast.
I tried Xplode's latest rom for only 1 day and switched back toPdaViet's cause I had problems:
1. Somehow, the OK button (on top right hand corner) close apps without saving it (I had this problem when using PocketInformant and PocketBreeze - weird. I put it on forum, but no one else seem to have this issue)
2. I feel that the touch screen is not as responsive as other roms -I dont know, maybe I was wrong...but this is what i feel anyway
For now, I am using PdaViet's latest rom WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5.
, and its very good...
hey i hv tested all the three but i hv not found big changes in them and switch back to helmi as i hv the backup of it. all three r same as they r helmi based. so i advised to go for helmi it also has gsfinder as file explorer.
which is the best
I have tried have all three of the latest roms but the ones that are the newest is pdaviets rom with office 6.1 and xplodes. Hemlis wm6 is older than the others so any of the other 2 are better.
It seems that the speed of xplodes and pdaviets are ABOUT the same but i find that pdaviets rom is slightly faster- programs open faster, and there is no stalling. Pdaviets is more stable- when i installed pdaviets 5.2.000 i only soft reset it about once- it works flawlessly. I can open more programs at the same time without stalling and freezing with pdaviets than with xplodes. With a great combination of stability and speed pdaviets takes the cake.
Although i can not use the touch flo cube that comes with pdaviets because of i can not get rid of my older version of touchflo i installed in my BA- for some reason i can not uninstall it or remove it but i hear it works like a charm.

What do you mean you cannot get rid of the older version of touchflo? After reflashing the new rom, whatever you have before will be gone..... just make sure you do the no yes yes option...
And you are rite, touchflo on Pdaviets latest rom works very well...
Just want to say yes, I am using latest rom of PDAViet too, and I love it. All bugs seems fixed. I just don't like the touchflo as I was using HTouch before and it works better (quicker, smoother, no flare, more open to add links...)

I installed a previous version of ftouch before the one in pdaviets came out and i installed it on my hemli wm6 rom when it first came out. I did uninstall the program but although the file was removed touch flo was still active on my BA. No matter how many times i have flashed my BA to another rom ftouch is installed on my BA. It is very weird.
I did however find the ftouch program and it is located in my BA "windows" folder under "startup". When i try to delete that it says thats the file can not be deleted. I am not sure what you are talking about when you say " no yes yes" option because everytime i flash a rom it goes to the align screen option. Any help would be appreciated.

the no yes yes option refers to cleaning up the rom i.e. similar to the concept of formating the whole rom data.... you should do this after reflashing a new rom build.
when you reset and you get to the 3 colored screen, press and hold camera + record button for about 2 sec... use record button to choose, camera button to change no/yes... and then press mail button to confirm...
its all in wiki, under the instruction on how to update rom...
I prefer Xplode's latest release...its the fastest one by far, in my experience...can't really fault it at all....I dont like the Touch Flo...it's too slow on the BA...and I don't find it beneficial at all...just a waste of resources.

excellent! Thanks a lot joseph sapri! I just did it and i have so much more rom space and the ftouch is gone! MUCHO appreciated
no probs. I was in your position before.. . This is what this forum is for...
i see by far more people like PDAViet release
could any one provide download link and is there any thing special we have to do to upgrade from helmi WM6 ?
Thanks
Download links are in corresponding threads - THE FIRST POST usually
You should backup your data before flashing, upgrade procedure is the same as for any WM6.
Here is the link to the rom, as posted by Iced Coffee...

I just upgraded using this rom, but the sim card cannot be recognized. Any suggestions?
Good morning guys. I searched it but I didn't find anything. Is it possible to import Manila (tf3d from HTC diamond) in hp 614c? Thank you
manilla 2d is possible if u have a english rom and it works very well for me.
Can you explain how to do it
Sorry for the stupid question but are you talking about the port of the 2D manila interface, running on HTC 3g? If so, please tell me where in the forum can I download the installation files. Are there any specific issues with the ipaq 614.

You can also try this ROM (WM 6.1):
http://rapidshare.com/files/165082651/614_WM6.1_19971.rar this beta but stable.
password: israpda.com
Manila is in there and works very fast and stable. The same for ROM.
ROM has been cooked by Yevg001 from 4pda:
http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?hl=...rt=280&usg=ALkJrhigVfV9tLK4nQjO6pm00-lUGJN42g
To flash the firmware:
1. Unzip archive using provided above password
2. Copy flash.dio to SD card (important!!! it must by SD (<2GB) not SDHC card)
3. Turn the device off (push and hold power button)
4. Insert your SD card
5. With the same time push: record, mute and power button
6. After ~1sec release power button then remaining buttons
7. You will get "SDloader"
8. Do not touch anything until iPAQ boot itself (you can observe progress bar)
You have done...

Have you tried this rom? It has manila cooked in right? I have the auto shutdown problem with my ipaq, is it safe if i install teh power update patch by hp before putting this rom? I guess it's only rom, not a radio update so it won't affect it, but i don't want to brick it after all... Thanks
Axlastro,
Yes I am using this ROM. It is very fast and stable (it has 12MB pagepool).
Yes Manila is cooked in.
If the power update is a just patch for ROM I believe you can install it just after flash, but if I were you I would rather wait and see if the same problem is in the new ROM - if it is then I will make the patch installation.
Yes it is only Operating System (ROM) update.

Which ROM are you useing? I am using HP IPAQ 614c CE English OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0) OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0) v 1.5 (yevg001) Having a hard time with BT
Formally this is WM6.1 v1.6. I described it in post #5 (above).
re: bigu1975
Hi there. I installed this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446243 ,but it doesn't have manila cooked in. I will be flashing it again with the rom posted in the site. I noticed that some of the netcf programs won't work - they exit and report error. I'm satisfied with the overall performance of the wm 6.1 rom - it has all the hp goodies and even the camera works better i also notice far better booting times and file system read/write speeds. I do have active sync problems - the device doesn't always connect. So finally my question : Do you have any particular problems like those described by me with the version of the rom you are using.

Hi,
In general I don't have any problems related to programs. Mentioned ROM is clean, stable and it is very fast. It includes the same as HP ROM with new kernel from WM6.1 + Manila and some other useful applications which are tested and they are working fine.
I have noticed only one minor problem related to toggle WiFi using TouchFlo. It can be simple solved by the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2954341&postcount=9
ActiveSync - I noticed similar problems on WM6.1 on different devices. I think it is caused by ActiveSync itself. IMHO the problem is when you connect your device with ActiveSync already running. Then described problem appears. When ActiveSync is not running then it is fine. I hope I solved this problem by adding (in ActiveSync) dummy server and by setting the Sync time to manual. This already described, on this forum, solution protect ActiveSync against automatically start and also helps on syncing issue.
I have used many ROMs for 614C and I think Yevg001's ROM are simply the best. This one is the fastest one I tested. After few days of testing I recommend this one
Regards.
I have few bugs.
When I add MyFaves widget touchflo would not start and
Internet widget is not working for me?
Anyone has the same problem?

MyFaves it is TouchFlo problem. I don't use it
Internet widget doesn't work because there is no Opera browser in this ROM. I think when you install Opera it start to work. On this Manila version the Internet browser link is hardcoded to Opera. As I know in the newest Manila version it is possible to change the link to different browser. At this moment the newest Manila works only on HTC devices - we can't install it on our HP.
